I just had a look at the Ruger Charger, looks rather unwieldy to me, basically a sawn off 10/22. Can't see much use for competition or hunting.I'll probably get a tune up for saying it, but it looks like something Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris might have carried under their trench coats.

Maybe that's what they are into. I look at some of the competition handguns on the market today and think "who the hell would want one of these?" Got no problem with them being used though.

On the topic of chassis's, assuming the barrel length remains over 120mm and the mag cap is still only 10, the only relevant question is: does the chassis make the firearm

"a self loading centre fire rifle designed oradapted for military purposes or a firearm thatsubstantially duplicates such a firearm indesign, function, or appearance"

So. from the chassis's I've seen, some will be okay but some won't.

I don't have any problem with somebody choosing to do this to their handgun if it gives then the giggles.

You are granted a permit to buy and own the handgun based on it being "needed" for specific competition, or practice for such competition.If you then modify the handgun so that it no longer complies with the requirements of that competition, surely you are in breach of the "Permit to Acquire" and possess the handgun?

Sure, I am working on the assumption that your club is allowing the pistol to be used in the configuration you put it in. For some disciplines I know this wouldn't be a problem - e.g Varmint Pistol (Unlimited) in Field Pistol matches. As you say though, many wouldn't let you compete with a chassis'd handgun
